Although its title conjures up that terrifying and all-too-familiar feeling of tossing and turning in bed, Tess.'s new single ‘Stress Dreams’ is actually exceptionally chilled. Over Hip-Hop infused beats and soft synths, Tess.’s vocals lilt backwards and forwards, softly declaring ‘stress dreams, take over everything, stress dreams, they get the best of me’. It’s warm, comforting and exceptionally relaxing – everything which is more than needed at this time of the year. ‘Stress Dreams’ is the first track we’ve heard from Chicago-based newcomer Tess., and if this is what we can expect then we’re looking forward to seeing what she can bring to 2018. ‘Stress Dreams’ is available for free download here. -HM
